Seventy-six LSBU academics recognised by HE Academy
Vice-Chancellor Professor David Phoenix congratulates 76 LSBU staff members on achieving HE Academy recognition for their learning and teaching skillsA large number of the
staff members had gained Associate Fellowship or Fellowship of the HE Academy
through the University's long-standing Postgraduate Certificate in Higher
Education (PGCHE). Among those congratulated were also LSBU's first Senior
Fellows: Ruth Brown (Academic Staff Development Unit), Anne Harriss (Course Director, Occupational Health Nursing), Gail
Langley (Reader in Educational Development), and Kate Leonard (Course Director,
MA Practice Education and Teaching).
Having already achieved Senior Fellowship himself, the Vice-Chancellor
challenged the audience to become LSBU's first Principal Fellows—welcoming not
only the individual benefits of such awards, but their importance to the
University's standing and ability to deliver a high-quality student experience.
Prizes were also awarded for the best posters demonstrating the practical
projects undertaken as part of the PGCHE, celebrating the positive impact of
such research on learning and teaching at LSBU. The winner of this year's prize
was Vicky Hilborne from the Department of Applied Science - runners-up were
Anne-Marie Langan (Allied Health Sciences) and Liz Whelan (Medical Architecture
Research Unit).
